The spaceship setting really helps it rise above (no pun intended) your average Earth-bound dystopia to create awesome tension. And I don't think I'm giving away too much plot to say that it would pair well with The Handmaid's Tale. Can't wait for the sequel, it was a nicely compelling read.

Usually I loathe that resolution but here I totally get it and root for it. Liz, this is one of the rare occasions where I’m really good with the “I choose me” solution to the romantic question.

Michelle, honestly, I could. not. stand. Kieran. At most I felt bad for him (during that one time) but he always seemed arrogant, and I never saw him as a leader, just someone who wanted to be seen as a leader. Maybe not arrogant, as much as privileged, and he never lost it. Which? Makes sense for his character. And it would have been easy to make Seth, the natural leader, "good" but he wasn't since sometimes he was a bit too much like his father. A relief -- a non-triangle in that I don't like either boy. Team Waverly. Sondy, thanks!

The event that happened gave me a bit of a vibe I didn't like. But as it played out I really came to enjoy the plot. But what really made the book was the character exploration. Waverly being the only conisisten person throughout. Kieran (who I was not able to latch on to either) and Seth both waffled back and forth between "good" and "bad". I really liked that because it kept me on my toes and allows for even deeper exploration in the further books. I was worried I wasn’t going to like this book as I read through the fist 75 pages.

You've definitely made me all the more interested in it. Oo, I just got that checked out. You’ve definitely made me all the more interested in it.
